Ravager Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 yeah, uh..... the lens flares in A:M, i want some of them to be so that they dont shine light, cast shadows or make it look like its a light, i want it to just be a lens flare, nothing else, for example, a very shiney knife, exe. i hope you know what i mean because i cant seem to know how else to say it. thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Read the "Lens Flares" section of the On-Line Help. (Or if you've purchased the 2007 Upgrade, it's in the Technical Reference manual that comes with it). Lens Flares aren't lights, and you don't have to worry about them casting shadows. They are perfect for the edge of a knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonewar12345 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Yea they can be used for lots of different effects. I have seen tutorials for making them look like distant explosions for use in a sci fi project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
